Final Winners and Results – $250,000 Sweepstakes to Help Public Schools from Bing Rewards

Final Winners and Results – $250,000 Sweepstakes to Help Public Schools from Bing Rewards:
Thanks to the 50 winners in our $250,000 Sweepstakes to Help Public Schools for choosing so many important and deserving schools across the country. Over 100,000 students have been helped and more than 1,000 public school projects have now been funded by their gift cards as well as by our Bing Rewards members who purchased our discounted DonorsChoose.org $5 gift cards. Twenty-three winners are still deciding how to spend their $5,000 gift cards, so these numbers are certain to rise. And while our sweepstakes ended on October 22, our Hot Deal on $5 gift cards continues through November 1, so Bing Rewards members can still donate to public school projects of their choice for only 99 credits.
In the final week of our sweepstakes, the winners drawn for an opportunity to help public school students and their teachers with a $5,000 gift card to DonorsChoose.org were:

1. Tiffany Z. of Keizer, OR who tells us she was smiling all day after learning of her win. She completed the funding of several school projects and is working with a local school in need to set up a project and fund it. 2. Jeremy M. of Brandon, FL who intends to support special needs projects in the Tampa area. 3. Skyler S. of Boulder, CO who is still determining projects she’d like to fund. 4.

The Hot Deal has had even broader results, reaching more than 90,609 students and supporting 970 projects.
DonorsChoose.org lets public school teachers from across the country request specific resources that will engage their students: paintbrushes, microscopes, xylophones – even soccer balls!  To find out more about the projects in your local area visit www.donorschoose.org.
